After the end of Beast Wars II, Diver had to take whatever work he could find...

An escape pod left Cybertron before crash-landing on a wooded planet. A Cybertronian ventured out from the pod into the forest and sighted a growling orange blur. After a ruckus involving a lot of roaring, Kurama and Gamakichi emerged into a clearing and transformed to robot mode before dashing away ninja-style. Naruto Collaborative reveal short

• Kurama & Gamakichi (Multi-pack, 2025)

• Accessories: Sword, The toad's summoning contract
• Known designers: Evan Brooks and Mike Booth (Hasbro), Tomoki Tatsumi (TakaraTomy)^[1]

Collaborative Gamakichi is a Core Class-sized figure that transforms from ninja-robot to toad, based on the creature of the same name from the manga series Naruto. He comes with a small sword and a scroll based on the toad's summoning contract, both of which can store on his back. In beast mode, he can assume both a quadrupedal and bipedal stance. He can hold his scroll accessory in his mouth, while his short sword can tab into the underside of his fore-feet if you want a sword-wielding toad, and why wouldn't you?!

Hidden on his torso in both robot and alternate mode is detailing based on his appearance in the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Like fellow Collaborative figure Dilophocon before him, Gamakichi's robot mode heavily resembles a Beast Wars character. In Gamakichi's case, he is based on the Spittor/Diver mold. It remains to be seen if anything else will come of this design choice.

He was only available in a two-pack with fellow Naruto character Kurama (though said two-pack is specifically branded as a Naruto Shippuden product). The set was revealed by Hasbro on October 10, 2024, and went up for pre-order the same day.

Notes

• Gamakichi-the-Transformer winks into existence fully formed next to Kurama after the latter acquires his fox form. Given "poofing out of thin air next to Naruto" is most of the original Gamakichi's job description, this is arguably form and function.
• In the Naruto anime, Gamakichi was voiced by Yōji Ueda in Japanese and Dave Wittenberg in English.
